Abstract

The Consortium for Unfavorable Rice Environments (CURE) has been supporting innovation and technological advances over the past fifteen years to reduce risks, raise productivity, and contribute to poverty reduction in rainfed rice ecosystems in Asia. The Consortium has worked to improve lives in resource-poor rice communities through building a network of networks and linking groups and individuals facing similar constraints. This enables the sharing of information on opportunities for progress. Advances in recent years have enabled the development of stress-tolerant varieties and management options that help farmers reduce risks and raise productivity in areas affected by drought, flooding, or salinity. These have helped improve harvests for smallholder farmers in many parts of Asia.
